using goes like this:
- you have a fixed PID with every possible language for every channel,
for example on TV1 finnish is 1027, swedish 1028, on YLE Teema finnish
is 4027, swedish is 4028, spanish is 4031 and french is... can't
remember now
- the finnish stream is always present(?) and others only during the
program that has subtitles for that language
=> This means that if you have finnish selected either as first or
second subtitling language, it will be always present in the recording.
But since you cannot select more than two subtitling languages, that
doesn't cover all the possibilities.
I like to use the subtitles on the same language as the audio is, if
that is possible (like to keep up those language skills;). YLE Teema
sends couple of programs that have subtitling other than finnish or swedish.

>>Actually I have created a crude hack that enables the changing of

0.3.8. Please try that one and tell me if it is of any help.
